I have never had this problem until just tonight. I attempted to load the game and it asks for a disk and no matter how many time I click ignore, cancel or even the X, the window won't go away and I can't play the game

The copy protection hasn't been fully patched away by GOG - you need an active CD-ROM drive to run the game.
Current Windows version by default disable/hide CD-ROM drives after a while if no medium is present - just open/close the slot or insert any CD/DVD...
If you have no physical CD-ROM drive you might use a virtual/emulated one. Else you need a patched version of the game (or my run-time patch, but the installer is not ready yet).

There is no need to insert a medium, just the drive must be present. This is a known bug...

If you know how the use a hex-editor, you might try my run-time patch.
(I still didn't had enough spare time to release a newer version with an installer, more/better fixes, and some bugfixes...)

I think I found a solution (atleast it seams to be working for me)

I cleared everything from the DAVENTRY folder (I saw someone mention doing that in a forum) That by itself didn't help me, but if I turn off the lightings options, put away the weapon, go to 3rd person and walk, it loads past the scene

Well, since it is a timing/sequence issue, any "voodoo" that results in different memory allocation patterns could help :)
Let's hope that I find some spare time this year to finish kqmoefix to get rid of this problems.

I hope you do, honestly. Since I posted that, now that I was working with my video recorder to record gameplay for a video walkthrough, now it's back to not letting be past that, no matter what
